Fact checking is becoming a real job if not an adventure. ESPECIALLY on platforms/ sites owned run by persons without integrity because facts might diminish the 💰.
Things are being ¹designed to lead into a rabbit hole or ²disclaimed that reading or accepting as fact without discernment is on you.
This is what people should be doing but don't. I have been guilty of not following through myself so this is a great reminder to do your homework it does matter.
I find fake news follows the rules of the confidence game pretty closely: "If it seems too good to be true, it is" and "You can't cheat an honest man."
When they're telling you exactly what you want to hear, what you need to be true, that's the time to be suspicious.

A great source for comparing coverage of news from left and right perspectives is @groundnews.bsky.social . Really comprehensive compared to most news sites.
The “Is is a joke?” is something that has never ever been a problem until now. The batshit crazy things that keeps coming out of that man’s mouth and people that believes it….sometimes that indeed sounds like a joke.
Great point but I would like to point out that some of these sources look pretty good
